Char the eggplant over an open flame until the skin is blackened and the flesh is soft, about 10-15 minutes.

Let the eggplant cool, then peel off the skin and set it aside.

In a bowl, mash the eggplant with a fork until smooth.

Mix in eggs, chopped onion, tomato, garlic, and ground pork until well combined.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Pour half of the eggplant mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.

Cook until the bottom is set and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Carefully flip the omelette using a plate, then cook the other side until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining mixture.

Serve hot, garnished with green onions and lemon juice.
